That my father would love me like his only son
That my mother would be patient with me
And my sister would not leave
And if my grandpa could see me beyond his grave
That he'd think his little man was so brave
That my hair would not stick up in weird places
And I'd be someone someday
Years go by so easily that sometimes I forget
Years go by and make me see that
There's no time for my regrets
No time for my regrets
Things I prayed for in my teens
That God would forgive all my evil deeds
That my father and my sister would come home
And that mom could meet our needs
And if my grandpa could see me beyond his grave
That he'd say a prayer for his family's sake
That my hair would stick up in weird places
And I'd be someone someday
Years go by so easily that sometimes I forget
Years go by and make me see that
There's no time for my regrets
No time for my regrets
Things I pray for now in my twenties
That God would still love me
That my dad will like his new family
That I could hug my sister
That my mom could rest
That my wife would still melt every time we kissed
And if my grandpa has seen me beyond his grave
So cold and silent he has remained
That my hair would not fall out in weird places
And I'd be someone someday
Years go by so easily that sometimes I forget
Years go by and make me see that
There's no time for my regrets
No time for my regrets
These are the things I prayed
That I'd be someone someday
Yeah, that I'd be someone someday
That I'd be someone someday
Yeah, that I'd be someone someday
Things I prayed for when I was young That my father would love me like his only son That my mother would be patient with me And my sister would not leave And if my grandpa could see me beyond his grave That he'd think his little man was so brave That my hair would not stick up in weird places And I'd be someone someday Years go by so easily that sometimes I forget Years go by and make me see that There's no time for my regrets No time for my regrets Things I prayed for in my teens That God would forgive all my evil deeds That my father and my sister would come home And that mom could meet our needs And if my grandpa could see me beyond his grave That he'd say a prayer for his family's sake That my hair would stick up in weird places And I'd be someone someday Years go by so easily that sometimes I forget Years go by and make me see that There's no time for my regrets No time for my regrets Things I pray for now in my twenties That God would still love me That my dad will like his new family That I could hug my sister That my mom could rest That my wife would still melt every time we kissed And if my grandpa has seen me beyond his grave So cold and silent he has remained That my hair would not fall out in weird places And I'd be someone someday Years go by so easily that sometimes I forget Years go by and make me see that There's no time for my regrets No time for my regrets These are the things I prayed That I'd be someone someday Yeah, that I'd be someone someday That I'd be someone someday Yeah, that I'd be someone someday Explain Request ×
